Description

This interactive session will provide the audience with a full description of the redesign of the freshmen engineering course at Fairfield University. In addition, participants will be led through several of the active learning experiences similar to those used in the course, thus having the opportunity to experience the class first hand. The session will cover: the history of the class, the backward design process used to revitalize the course, the linkages made between course outcomes, course goals, accreditation requirements, and the University’s core pathways, and, finally, it will conclude with results and feedback on how effective the redesign was. Participants will also get to have some time for small and large group reflection on what was learned.
